How To: Rose Nail Design With Gel Polish

Supplies For Rose Nails

Gel polish: We used the Beetles Gel Summer Paradise collection but you can use any gel polish that is white and pink.

Base & matte top coat

Cure lamp

Full coverage nail tips

Fine liner brushes

Step 1

Choose the right sizes of full coverage nail tips for your fingers and have them ready to use. You don't want to be trying to find the right sizes in the middle of a manicure so it's best to have everything ready from the start.

For this nail art design you will need pink and white gel polish.

Step 2

With a 180 grit nail file, buff off the shine from the nail tip. Pay extra attention to the sides of the nail tip and make sure that all of the shine is completely removed. If there are shiny parts left on the nail tip it can cause lifting of the gel polish.

This gel polish should last on the nail for up to 3 weeks if prepped correctly.

Take your time to make sure the nail shine is completely removed without damaging the nail tip. If you know how to use an efile for nails, you can also remove the shine with that too.

Step 3

With a lint free wipe for nails, remove all of the dust. You can use isopropyl alcohol for this step. Do not ever use water because the moisture will ruin your manicure and the gel will not paint on properly.

Even a little bit of nail dust can ruin your manicure because the gel polish will catch the little specs and magnify them.

Step 4

Apply one coat of the base coat making sure the whole nail is covered in an even and thin layer. Cure for 30 seconds.

Step 5

Apply two thin coats of white gel polish, curing for 30 seconds in between coats.

Step 6

Prepare the pink gel color on a mixing palette. On a mixing palette, take a bit of the pink color. If you are using the Beetles set the color is b451.

When doing a gel manicure use a mixing palette whenever possible so that the gel polish in the bottle stays clean and away from light. Here is a list of must have nail art supplies for those who are just getting started with nail art.

Step 7

Take the pink color and paint little squiggle lines from the middle to the end making whimsical rose petals. This is how to make a rose with nail polish. 

You can make the roses as large or as small as you like. Once the roses are painted onto the nail, then cure for 30 seconds.

Step 8

Apply a matte no wipe gel top coat and do a final cure for 60 seconds.

We hope you found this rose nail art DIY easy to do and try it out on nail tips for a super nature inspired look. You can also make this look ready for a party by adding some silver nail polish to the center of the roses.
